Bill Summary
This legislation, also known as a bill, is aimed at removing restrictions from a specific parcel of land in Paducah, Kentucky. The bill states that the Secretary of the Interior will be responsible for removing any deed restrictions (such as easements, exceptions, and covenants) from the land in question. These restrictions were originally included in a quitclaim deed from the United States to the City of Paducah in 2012 and are currently recorded in the county court's Deed Book. The land in question is approximately 3.62 acres and is located on the Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center, including any buildings or structures on the land. The land was previously conveyed to the City of Paducah by the Secretary of the Interior. This bill would remove any limitations or conditions on the use of the land, allowing the City of Paducah more flexibility in its use and development.
Possible Impacts
1. The removal of restrictions on the parcel of land in Paducah, Kentucky could allow for potential development and construction on the land, potentially affecting the local community and environment.
2. The removal of deed restrictions could impact local businesses or residents who may have been previously restricted from using the land for certain purposes.
3. The transfer of the land from the Secretary of the Interior to the City of Paducah could affect the local economy and job market, as the city may use the land for different purposes than the previous owner.
